Layne Taylor brings efficient shot-making and playmaking to Murray State
Taylor is a compact 5-11 guard who already proved he can carry an offense, leading Central Arkansas as a freshman with 17.4 points per game, 73 assists, 64 made threes, and an 89% free-throw mark in 2024-25; he also earned Atlantic Sun All-Freshman honors and flashed big-shot poise with multiple 20-point games and a 29-point, 10-assist double-double. His fit is strongest with teams that value pace, perimeter creation, and confidence under pressure, though his size means he has to win with skill, quickness, and toughness rather than length.[7][11][12]
